Simultaneous 3D whole-heart T2 mapping and coronary angiography (3D-T2A)

Motivation: We focused on the similarity between 3D T2prep T2 mapping and whole-heart MRCA and developed a new sequence for simultaneous T2 mapping and MRCA sequence. Goal(s): Our goal of this study is to validate the simultaneous acquisition of 3D T2 mapping with whole heart MRCA. Approach: We visually assessed the image quality of 3D T2 mapping and MRCA. T2 values were compared with 2D T2 mapping (2D-GRASE). Results: This method, which enables simultaneous acquisition of 3D T2 mapping and MRCA, can provide stable image quality and T2 values. Impact: Our method, which enables simultaneous acquisition of 3D T2 mapping and MRCA, can provide stable image quality and T2 values, and will be of great benefit in future imaging.
